Types of Ceylon teas
Ceylon tea is incredibly diverse and rich in flavor, as many species and varieties of the plant are grown in Sri Lanka. Depending on the degree of oxidation of the leaves, there are four main types of Ceylon tea: black, green, white, and oolong. Each has its own distinctive properties and benefits.
Ceylon black tea
This is the most popular and classic type of tea. It is fully fermented, meaning the leaves undergo an oxidation process that gives them a dark color and intense aroma.
Ceylon black tea has a rich and complex flavor that can be sweet, sour, spicy, floral or nutty, depending on the region and altitude of cultivation.
Ceylon black tea is delicious both hot and cold, and can be enjoyed with milk, lemon, sugar, or honey. It also has numerous health benefits, as it contains antioxidants, caffeine, theine, and flavonoids, which support the circulatory, nervous, and immune systems.
Ceylon green tea
It's the second most popular type of tea from the island. It's unfermented, meaning the leaves are heat-treated to prevent oxidation and preserve their natural color and aroma.
Sri Lankan green tea has a delicate and fresh flavor that can be grassy, fruity, honeyed or nutty, depending on the region and altitude of cultivation.
It's best served warm, plain or with a little honey or lemon. It also has many health benefits, as it contains antioxidants, catechins, polyphenols, and vitamin C, which support the digestive, metabolic, and immune systems.
Ceylon white tea
This is the rarest and most exclusive type of Ceylon tea. It is minimally fermented, meaning the leaves undergo a very brief oxidation process, giving them a light color and delicate aroma.
White tea is produced from the youngest and most delicate buds and leaves, which are harvested only once a year, in spring. It has a subtle and sweet flavor that can be floral, fruity, honeyed, or creamy, depending on the region and altitude.
Sri Lankan white tea is best enjoyed hot, plain or with a small amount of honey or lemon. It also has numerous health benefits, as it contains antioxidants, polyphenols, amino acids, and vitamin E, which support the nervous, skin, and immune systems.
Ceylon oolong tea
It is the newest and most innovative type of tea from the island. It is partially fermented, meaning the leaves undergo a controlled oxidation process that stops halfway through. Oolong tea is produced from selected and specially cut leaves that are then subjected to various processing methods, such as roasting, rolling, drying, or flavoring.
Oolong tea has a diverse and refined flavor that can be tart, spicy, floral, fruity, honeyed, or caramel, depending on the region, altitude, and cultivation method. It is delicious both hot and cold, and can be enjoyed with milk, lemon, sugar, or honey. It also has numerous health benefits, containing antioxidants, polyphenols, caffeine, theine, and flavonoids, which support the circulatory, nervous, and immune systems.
In addition to these four basic types of Ceylon tea, Sri Lanka also produces a variety of flavored teas, with fruit, herbs, and other additions, catering to different consumer tastes and preferences. Our online store offers a wide selection of Ceylon teas that are sure to meet your expectations and satisfy your needs.
